Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Strength and Muscle Volume After Prolonged Training Disruption Due to SARS-CoV2

Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare two training models; High Load Resistance Training (HL-RT) and Low Load Blood Flow Restriction (LL-BFR), on muscle hypertrophy and maximum strength after stopping training. Sample: 16 subjects divided into two groups of 08 and followed a training for 08 weeks, in HL-RT and LL-BFR. Results: increased hypertrophy in both groups, and improved strength in the HL-RT group. Conclusion: training in blood occlusion offers an alternative to athletes with a prolonged cessation of trainingSW, by maintaining a good level of performance with better fatigue management
